The trouble, there isn’t one, so I’ll be staying.


My request to GT admin would be, please give a clear statement on future policy;


Where great lessons, such as ‘That smell’ have disappeared, is there any realistic hope of a future successful negotiation with the copyright holders? 


 

Good luck.  You won't get a straight answer from GT. I know, I've tried.  They just keep blaming the publisher, which is BS.  They won't tell you why the publisher won't allow the license renewal but my guess is that GT doesn't want to pay what they're asking.  I tried to give the benefit of the doubt but this last round of song deletions was just too much and that's why I just cancelled my subscription after 15 years.
